Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

The scope of the project is the development and incorporation of AI/ML into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) cybersecurity platform to enhance the effectiveness, accuracy and response time of the system through meaningful automation. The addition of AI capabilities will enhance the security function at a low cost, will be appealing to a large segment of the business community and improve the ability of customers to defend against Cybercrime. The goal is to accelerate the Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst work, automate repeated activities, and allow the SOC Analyst the time to be more proactive in searching for additional threats through the system.
